Layback Mentawai 34″ Longboard Review

The mentawai longboards are perfect for cruising along town, weaving through traffic, shredding the park, mild downhill and slalom, as well as ramps and ditches. The mentawai also has a pretty long wheelbase for its size which makes for smooth, buttery turns and also gives more control at higher speeds but doesn’t give high maneuverability in the streets. I personally recommend the mentawai to anyone who is beginning because of the longerwheel base but I feel the other laybacks are better for busier streets, cities, etc.

The Mentawai comes with san clemente trucks and wheels but I highly recommend buying some of our premium trucks and wheels. for trucks I recommend getting some independents or chargers. For wheels I recommend sector 9′s, abec 11′s or orangatangs or any wheel in a 60mm or higher for that matter. The mentawai also comes with abec 5 bearings but I highly recommend getting some reds, they’re only $10 more and they’re the best you can get for the price unless of course you really want to rip through the streets then i suggest getting some ceramics of any kind however I personally recommend the sector 9 ceramics.
